Know the round before the press release. Typically 1–2 months earlier.
Every DACH deep tech signal — closed rounds, registry filings, hiring spikes, grant awards, press momentum — collapsed into one queryable feed. The forecaster predicts who’s raising next. And because we recruit for these companies, we can tell you which prediction to believe: our network and our clients are the ecosystem this data describes.

Deal flow and diligence
Screen a whole market rather than a pitch deck. See who raised, who is scaling headcount, and who filed a capital increase — before the round is announced. Then track the portfolio you already own.
Scouting and M&A
Find the startups moving in your sector across Switzerland, Germany and Austria, with the funding history, the backers and the hiring signal that says which are executing.
Investor mapping
See which funds actually back companies like yours in this region, who they co-invest with, and at what stage — instead of working a list bought from someone else.
The edge is not another database. It is that we recruit into these companies — so the signal comes from our own pipeline, our network and our clients, not from a press-release scrape three weeks late.
DACH companies that raised in the last 12 months and are hiring now
The whole funding feed
Every round we can evidence — closed, announced and historical — with amount, stage, investors and the source article. DACH first, but the feed does not stop at the border.
Rounds before they land
Forecasts of who raises next, built from registry filings, hiring spikes and press momentum — surfaced ahead of the announcement, not after it.
The people who decide
Founders, C-level and board mapped to their companies, with role, seat and source. Not a scraped list — provenance on every row.
Investors and who they back
The full backer graph: who funded whom, who co-invests with whom, and which portfolios a company sits inside. The map you need before you take a meeting.
Who is hiring, right now
Live vacancies per company, straight from their own ATS. A round plus a hiring spike is the earliest honest read on whether a company is executing.
All of it through the API
The same data programmatically, key-scoped per consumer. Build on it, pipe it into your CRM, or let an agent query it.
